RipFactory RipServer Offers 1TB Network Attached Storage (NAS) with Integrated CD Ripping Functionality

This interesting device manufactured by RipFactory and known as the RipServer has not only been designed to serve as a network attached storage (NAS) device offering up to 1TB of capacity and Linux compatibility but as a high quality CD ripper and a UPnP media server.

Billed as a ‘consumer first’ and capable of running independently without being hooked up to a network as well as a NAS, ripping a CD via the RipFactory RipServer couldn’t be easier – simply insert the CD in question and, hey presto, the device will do the rest. Nice.
